Up to now McConnell’s loyalty to Trump has been limited to getting his tax reform and health care legislation passed into law and positioning the party to take the November 2018 midterm elections. The Mueller investigation has now demonstrated there appears to be enough creditable evidence to suggest Trump has committed “treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors while colluding with Russia during the 2016 U.S. presidential election that now seems could force Trump from office and seriously threaten the Republican midterm elections. It would seem that McConnell must now take steps to replace Trump with Pence before it costs him the midterms. The easiest course of action for McConnell at this point would seem to be to have Trump resign, ideally for health reasons, have Pence assume the presidency, subsequently granting Trump a full presidential pardon, while bringing the Mueller investigation to a public close without exposing the country to the most extraordinary remedies currently being considered for the removal of Trump from office.

McConnell could gain public support for a Pence presidency by declaring the start of the country’s unification and healing process by drawing everyone’s attention to the selection and election of a new all party supported Vice President. Pence could address the country stating it is now time to unite a divided America and move on from the dark days of his predecessor’s past by pardoning Trump while writing an end to the investigation. Pence has maintained his distance from some of Trump’s most controversial moments in office, attempting to separate himself entirely from the ongoing Russian investigations by stating he joined the Trump campaign later in the election season and without any knowledge of efforts to work with the Kremlin to undermine Hillary Clinton’s Democratic campaign. Meanwhile, McConnell has continued moving a bill through Congress that is calling on the vice president to seek Trump’s removal from office. Pence could use the same reason Gerald Ford used for pardoning Richard Nixon in 1974: To write the ending of a nightmarish chapter in the country’s history. McConnell is betting on Trump’s support who he believes the thought of running away to spend more time with his 9-iron might prove irresistible.

Pence’s support though is not in doubt. McConnell has the goods on him. McConnell knows Pence lied when he claimed to be in the dark about Mike Flynn. McConnell also knows Pence knew how involved Manafort, Kushner and Trump Jr. were with the Russian hackers, oligarchs and Vladimir Putin. McConnell knows that publicly people are crediting Pence as either “lying or being wildly incompetent,” or “just being duped”. McConnell knows it’s all of the above, leaving Pence no alternative but to do what he is told. Pence’s usefulness to McConnell was only partially completed with the passing of the tax bill. Now McConnell must do some PR on his new president to deal with the damage Pence did to his credibility by lying about Flynn, Russia and just why Trump fired FBI director James Comey all of which serves as a noose around his neck. Pence’s approval ratings, as recently as March, had fallen, along with Trump’s, to all-time lows.

The upshot of all this is if your rooting for Mueller to bring a quick and speedy end to an abbreviated Trump administration in 2018 you may have to accept that McConnell’s idea of an acceptable solution is a Pence presidency and a Pence presidential pardon for Trump if in fact McConnell winds up being the true and final king maker. Maybe a new president who simply would kill Planned Parenthood and end gay marriage, who calls global warming a myth and “longs for the day that Roe v. Wade is sent to the ash heap of history” is far less dangerous for the country than the one we presently have? Who will have been the king marker at the end of this story – McConnell or History?
